Lamy Al-Star Special Edition Fountain Pens Reviews

My pinnacle pen is my Montblanc, with this comparison I must say Lamy pens are work horses and very pleasing to write with. Everything works with German engineering precision out of the gate with this pen! Lovely brushed metal finish, nice big clip, window on both sides to see ink, it’s a real beauty and a great value. Penchalet delivered very quickly and was helpful with questions. I would highly recommend this one as a daily writer and pen chalet for their service. My fancy pens rarely leave home — this is a wonderful pen to travel with. Lamy packaging makes it an experience to open. It’s really quite a pen for the money.

I haven't purchased one of my favorite Al-Star pens in a few years. Again, the price prompted me to get this petrol colored pen.

A fine pen. The aluminum body feels very light, even lighter than plastics, but it still gives off a sturdy and well constructed feeling. I selected a medium nib, and it writes a nice, true medium line, neither too wet nor too dry. The Turmaline Special Edition finish is an attractive blue-green.

My only reservation is the triangular grip, which is relatively more pronounced than that of the TWSBI ECO-T and feels subtly wrong somehow. This does not seriously affect the ability to write, however.

Al star special edition is now my daily writer. Fills my needs perfectly.

Lovely color for this year. I won't comment on the Al-Star itself since many people have reviewed, commented, etc., regarding Safaris and their metal bodied cousins the Al-Stars and Lxs. It is a wonderful, inexpensive fountain pen with the ability to easily switch nib sizes that come in many beautiful colors. What more to say?

This pen I like when I want a little bit more style in my writing easily handled and lightweight works wonders for my bad handwriting

I love this pen--the left-handed nib, the color, the matching ink! Some say lefties don't need a special nib; this is my first one and it's excellent! I never need to readjust my grip to write smoothly like other pens.
I thought the lightweight Al and the bulky lid might bug me, but I don't even think about them when I'm writing.

It's a Lamy - it writes well, it does what it says on the box!

I LOVE Lamy pens. This one was a gift; however, for a high school grad. They may be on the entry/inexpensive side, however, Lamy is one of the best Fountain Pens available.
